Hey every body....I put a post

Hey every body....I put a post on 6-28-09 about some clicking in my out drive when I turn right or left and when the out drive is in the up/out position and running of course. Any ideas? The U-joints are new and very smooth and free.

I replaced the gimbal bearing

I replaced the gimbal bearing last year. Mine has the gimbal bearing that has a plastic cartrige that houses it. The gimbal bearing is a little loose in the cartrige. I am thinking maybe the plastic cartrige needs to be shimmed with some brass shim stock that wraps around the cartrige. Are you familiar with this application? My old gimbal and cartrige had two of these brass shims. I could only get one in when I changed it last year. I am thinking I need to try again.....Please check my earlier posting for more details.
